Hand Holding or Holding hand
Yes
I needed you
I needed you badly, indeed
That was time,
when I was taking my first step to walk
That was time,
when I was uttering words to talk
That was time,
when I just began to eat by my hand
That was time,
When I just began to have my friend
Thanks to you for all the support you did
That was time
When I needed you indeed.
And now I have realized
Due to all of your kind deed
I am quite grown up indeed
Trust me,
I can handle my stuff
Don’t let your hands
To be my handcuffs
Let my feet find their land
Let me have deep dive into sea
I want to touch the sea floor
Let me have my tour
And I promise I will be always your’s.
Note: There is a thin line of demarcation between hand holding and holding (pulling) hand. And most of the time we (elders) unwillingly cross this demarcation line and we lose our dearest one. They feel so suffocated in our support system that they break this and free themselves to have fresh air and to explore the world. Not of caution is that by allowing them to explore it does not mean that we will not look after, just always be with them only when they need.
पकड़ से दूर, पहुँच के पास: माँ
ऐसा लगता है
जैसे अभी कल ही की बात हो
जब मैं तुझसे आगे आगे भागता हुआ
अपने छोटे छोटे क़दमों से चलते हुए
तेरी पकड़ से दूर निकलना चाहता था
पर तेरी पहुँच के हमेशा पास
है न माँ,
मेरी माँ,
और मेरे पीछे पीछे हाथों को फैलाए हुए दौड़ती तेरी ममता
पकड़ ही लेती थी मुझे|
ऐसा लगता है,
जैसे अभी कल ही की बात है,
जब बैग में मेरा टिफिन रखती औत कहती
ख़त्म कर के आना
और स्कूल से आने के बाद सबसे पहले टिफिन देखती
आज कोई नहीं कहता
खाने को, माँ
खुद ही
पड़ता है खाना बनाना और
अकेले बैठ के खाना,
फिर भी लगता है कि
रसोई से तू बोल रही है,
बेटा एक रोटी और लाऊँ
ऐसी है माँ,
मेरी माँ,
ऐसा लगता है,
जैसे अभी कल ही की बात है,
जब मुझे बुखार होने पर
तू रात भर नहीं सोई,
भगवान् की तस्वीर के आगे छुप-छुप कर रोई,
मेरे माथे पर गीली पट्टी रखते बदलते
मैंने देखे हैं तेरे आंसू निकलते,
अभी कल मैं बीमार था
शायद मुझे बुखार था
बीह्ग गया था ऑफिस से आने में
कपडे देर से बदले जाने अनजाने में,
बदन तप कर दर्द से टूट रहा था
ऐसा लगा कि तेरा साथ छूट रहा था,
तभी एकदम से मेरे अंदर हिम्मत आयी,
खुद ही उठ कर पानी लिया और दवा खाई,
जब सोया तो सिराहने पर तुझे पाया
तूने मेरे बालों को सहलाया,
और बोली, सब ठीक हो जायेगा
अभी थोड़ी देर में बुखार उतर जायेगा
सुबह फिर ऑफिस जाना था
पास न होते हुए भी तू थी यही मैंने जाना था,
है न माँ,
मेरी माँ!
ऐसा लगता है,
जैसे अभी कल ही की बात है,
जब मैं अच्छे नम्बरों से हुआ था पास,
तब तोडा था तूने रिजल्ट वाले दिन का उपवास,
रिजल्ट मेरा आया था
पर उस दिन तू हुई थी पास
अपने हाथों से बना कर मिठाई,
पास पड़ोस में तूने बटवाई
जब मैंने तेरे पैर छुए
तब तेरी आँख छलक आई,
पिछले महीने ही हुआ मेरा प्रमोशन
ऑफिस वालों के सेलिब्रेशन
केक काटा गया
सब में बाटा गया
मैं तलाश रहा था उन आँखों को जो ख़ुशी के मौके पर भी छलकती हैं
उस भीड़ भरे हॉल में मैं था अकेला,
जब मैं अपना रुमाल उठाने के लिए झुका
उसी समय किसी ने मेरे सर को छुआ
दूर रहकर भी रहती है मेरे पास
तू ही है न माँ,
मेरी माँ!
ऐसा लगता है,
जैसे अभी कल ही की बात है,
जब मेर खोई हुई किताब ढूढ़ने में
तूने सारा घर छान मारा
आस पास के बच्चों से से भी की जांच पड़ताल
ढूंढ कर ही रही तू मेरी किताब हर हाल
आज दुनिया की इस भीड़ में खो गया है तेरा लाल
आज शायद जिंदगी का सफ़र तय करते करते
बहुत दूर निकल आया हूँ
पर आज भी लगता है कि
तेरी ममता भरी आँखें और चमत्कारिक स्पर्श
मौलिक – अमौलिक रूप से मुझे छू रहा है
हैं न माँ
मेरी माँ
और मैं चाह कर भी तुझसे दूर नहीं जा सकता
क्योंकि मैं तो तेरा ही अंश हूँ
और मैं खुद को खुद से अलग तो नहीं कर सकता
क्योंकि मैं तेरी पकड़ से ही तो दूर हूँ
पर तेरी पहुँच के बहुत पास
है न माँ
मेरी माँ

Uncertainty is certain
They were across the seas for others or self
Their near and dear were worried
Due to worldwide Covid
They begged to government to bring them back
But even they don’t know that their fate was painted black
The bad luck was pouring as rain
The pilot was just trying to land the plane
But it skid due to wet runway
And the one who was in role of savior
The pilot, lost his life and went away and away.
This is was unexpected and uncertain
But this uncertainty was certain…….
One certain thing in this uncertain life is uncertainty itself.
Stand alone
Stand Alone
If there is pitch dark around you,
Path is not visible to you,
You are afraid of every whisper,
You are not expecting anyone near,
Even in all these adverse conditions, my dear
Have your vision very much clear
And don’t fear
After a while the darkness will gone
Don’t step back
Have belief on yourself and stand alone.
Once you have taken your boat on waves
After some amazing voyages
Waves have decided to riots and raves
In between water, you have lost your oars
Death seems as near as water,
Life seems as far as shore
You don’t find way out
Just don’t scream and shout
Have a cool in your mind
Have an eye in front and behind
The almighty will send some one
Just strengthen your belief on him, and stand alone
Once you have raised your voice for a noble cause
Before victory don’t take pause
People may or may not join you
Hurdles will certainly follow you
Always keep that cause in your mind
For problems, you behave like blind
Keep your intentions pious and sacred
You need not to be afraid
After a tough time you will won
Just always be ready to stand alone
On a cliff
I am with me
No one came to see
I have faced storms and thunder
After a rain it wonder
New leafs came and grew
Cattles tried to screw
I keep growing tall and high
I have almost touched the little sky
I have strengthen my base
And I grew even in adverse case
The rule is simple and applies with everyone
Strengthen your base and for every situation
Ready to stand alone
Now I can see crowd around me; known and unknown
It happened because
I was ready to stand alone.

Whenever I feel low and lost I just go to her and she always welcome me with open arms and I emersed deep into her. Came out recharged and refresh.
The man, and his place
The man, and his place
Beside the meeting point of the main road and my street
There was his place, shop
I have seen him there since my school days
He was at his place, always
Whether it rains or scorching sun’s blazing heat.
Beside the meeting point of the main road and my street.
Whenever I said to him, “mend my shoe.”
He smiled and said, “Come back within an hour or two.”
One iron chest having pieces of leather, boxes of polish, brushes, needles, thread, nails, hammer were his only belonging.
And at the leisure hour I have seen him singing.
In festivals I used to give him food and sweet
At his place
Beside the meeting point of the main road and my street.
I left my city,
For study
and to live life further
I often ask about the man to my mother.
She said, He is becoming old
And require strength to hold.
Even then his work is very fine and neat.
And you can still find him at his place
Beside the meeting point of the main road and our street.
Once I came back in vacations
I went to see him, without any reason
He identified me, with never failing smile on his face
He asked, “what is the case?”
Do you have any problem with your shoe?
I said, “No, just want to see you.”
Now there was a glow in his eyes behind the glasses
We talked for few minutes
About health, work and other cases
I don’t know why
But before leaving I give him tight hug.
And I felt my shoulder wet,
When I was going back
I found him at the same place
Beside the meeting point of the main road and our street.
Then there came the year 20-20.
Very soon I saw people on streets
Going to their native places
There were no trains, bus
All of this due to a Virus
One day I rang to my mother
I asked about the man
She had no idea
After two and half month
I came and could not find him at his place
I was praying for him
And pleading for god’s grace
But usually God became away when most needed
And I heard the news that I don’t want to.
He identified positive and after struggle of a week
He left the world, the place
Beside the meeting point of the main road and my street.

I don't know why,
But your sound is soothing to ear and refresher to mind,
You know how to sail against the wind
And how to enjoy the wind.
It's a lesson to learn
And wisdom to earn.
Everyday you come to my home
I promise I will come to your dome.
I invite you to be around me
You are so adorable to see.
Each of us want to be like you
No one can, it is well known true.
Your selflessness, is must required to save the world.
What an irony it is
Just have a look
Our selfishness have compelled
Some of you to enter into red Book
You are synonym of freedom.
You have everlasting kingdom
My heart goes in the deep sea of sorrow
I feel very low
When I see your friends in cage
Even in this age.
They scream in the grief
They sing,
people have this strange belief.
While writing about you,
I am out of word
You are my planetmate, bird.
My bird, bird, bird.
While I am lying on my 7×6 bed and watching TV simultaneously I am rotating around the axis of huge celestial body that have unique quality of inhabitating lives. And not only this I am revolving around the another celestial body that have enormous amount of energy. And you know one more celestial body is constantly revolving around mine place. All of these events are happening simultaneously and non stop since ages. I feel privileged being a part of this unique set-up. I found no reason to hate any living being on my planet. If you do have then please think yourself in bigger picture and I promise you will feel delighted and full of joy and all of your I'll feelings will be evaported in the warmth of love showered by nature.
Eyes
I have seen eyes,
So many eyes
Naughty and curious eyes
Of kids.
Eyes having fear in it,
Looking here and there,
Eyes having joy,
Wide and open.
Closed eyes in the prayer,
Smiling eyes,
Eyes having doubt on someone,
Eyes as identity of people;
As people are having mask on the face.
Speaking eyes.
Deep eyes having secret in them.
Eyes having tears in it sometime due to happiness and sometime due to grief.
Eyes in quest of knowledge.
Eyes immersed in love.
Eyes having ambition,
Eyes having full make up.
Eyes having desire to see.
Sleeping eyes.
And you know
I have seen these eyes through my eyes
So eyes looking deep in the eyes are mine.
It's drizzling outside as well as inside
Rain outside
Thoughts inside
Peasants are planting paddy
I am sowing words
They are doing outside
I am doing inside
Both of us have same cause of our actions
The magic know as rain and
It's drizzling outside
As well as inside.

Believe in change. Change our beliefs.
Just launched. All terrain. Completely mettalic. Fully automatic
Someone has stolen my heart. Will you please help me to find it.
Mountain, trees, flowing water in stream, paddy planting, step fields what else you need to fall in love with nature. Soothing to eyes and massage to mind. I love it.
Beauty at the best and clouds giving tight hug to high headed mountains and Dahlias are stealing attraction of all the naked eyes. Water droplets don’t want to leave the company of sexiest, delicate piece of nature nearby and Dahlias too don’t let the droplets leave them as these transparent pearls enhances their beauty. Beauties are complementing the whole scenery and i several thoughts encountering in my mind. And have look at the bond of love, Mountains and clouds are almost lost in their hug, passionate kiss of love and Dahlias too feeling refreshed after the love shower of amazing water feeling shy too.
Let’s have a ride on clouds. Clouds are messengers of sky just arrived to give message to mountains who are there to receive message for earth. Message received. Mountains just whispered to the clouds, “Love you”
Silence always has a noise. It require to acquire the skill to listen this noise in silence. Every silence has its own noise. My silence speaks about human, humanity, love, compassion, nature. What does your silence says to you? Listen it carefully, you will be amazed........
Give me any five humanitarian reason for drawing lines on the globe. Separating states by borders.
Listen the music of nature around you. Water the magical liquid we have. Almost everyone has undeclared romance with running water. It bring back the child hidden somewhere in adults.
